Employers are going to raise salaries for Ukrainians

According to a survey conducted by the National Bank of Ukraine, 47.2% of respondents expect an increase in future labor costs per employee, which is 44.6% higher than in the second quarter of 2023 (April-June). This means that there are more companies preparing to raise salaries for their employees.

"Manufacturing companies have the highest expectations in terms of economic activity. Medium-sized enterprises have the highest expectations in terms of size. In terms of the type of activity, the highest expectations are among companies engaged in export and import operations. If we are talking about a region, it is mainly for enterprises in the Chernihiv region," the study says.
